Here are the remaining 2 questions David Nasser, the senior vice president for spiritual development at Liberty, asked Bernie following his speech at the university on September 15.

Question 2: What would you say to Christians concerned that they will now face discrimination both in society and in the workplace for holding a traditional view of marriage?

@OAWoww:Liberty University students must rethink their definition of discrimination. Are they talking about preventing LGBT couples from getting married? Do they realize how important a life event marriage is to human beings? Preventing a lawful marriage is nearly equivalent to stripping someone of their religion. If you personally cannot issue a marriage license, please have a backup plan. This is not an issue of religious discrimination or religious persecution,as Ted Cruz likes to call it. Sometimes America can be cold as hell.

Question 3: You've talked in your campaign about how it is immoral to protect the billionaire class at the expense of the most vulnerable in our society: obviously, children. A majority of Christians would agree with you, but would also go further to say that children in the womb need our protection even more. How do you reconcile (long applause)..How do you reconcile the two in your mind?

Nasser: Obviously you can see this is what they want to ask. I know that you have a different view. I know that, you sir, that you and I don't have to be eye to eye on it.

Senator Sanders: Understand, this is an area where we disagree. I do understand and I do believe that it is improbable for the United States government or state government to tell every woman in this country the very painful and difficult choice that she has to make on that issue.

And, I honestly don’t want to be too provocative here, but very often Conservatives say, “You know, get the government out of my life. I don’t want the government telling me what to do.” But on this very sensitive issue on which this nation is divided, a lot of people agree with you, a lot of people agree with me. But my view is, I respect absolutely a family that says, “No, we are not going to have an abortion.” I understand that. I respect that. But I would hope that other people respect the very painful and difficult choice that many women feel they have to make and don’t want the government telling them what they have to do.

But, but...I want to take that question a step further, David. We do disagree on that issue, no if, and, or buts about it. But here is where I hope we have common ground. Now, I've not tried to be partisan during my remarks. I have not. But I'm going to be partisan for a moment, because I wanna lay this on your shoulders. I am the ranking member of the U.S. Senate Budget Committee. That means I lead the Democrats in opposition. The Republicans control the House and the Senate.

Now I wanna to tell you what was in the Republican budget that passed a number months ago. Check it out if you think I'm not telling you the truth. When you talk about issues of children, understand that the Republican budget threw 27 million people off of healthcare, including many children, at a time when many families cannot afford to send their kids to college. And I'm running on a program, by the way, that says every college and public university in America should be tuition-free. But at a time when families cannot afford to send their kids to college, the Republican budget cut $90 billion in Pell Grants over a 10 year period. At a time when children in America are going hungry, the Republican budget cut billions of dollars in nutrition programs, including money for the WIC program which goes to low-income pregnant women and their babies. And to add insult to injury in that budget, the Republicans provided over $250 billion over a 10-year period in tax breaks to the top 2/10 of 1 percent (top 0.2%). I don't think that is a moral budget.

Nasser: I'm not..I don't pretend to be an expert on budgets, but, uh, I think a lot of us would be very interested in our government and budgeting for Planned Parenthood. I think a lot of us would be interested at looking at those budgets..I think they get a lot more complex.

One student took issue with Sanders:

“The biggest inconsistency is the woman’s right to control her own body,” said Cameron Swathwood, a student [at Liberty] who attended the speech. “That assumes her body is the only one in question. … But if the unborn is in fact a human being which science and philosophy say it is, that killing the unborn is a grievous moral wrong.”

Our Amazing World's take:

Is it not equally as immoral and a greater detriment to our country to allow children to grow up in poverty with parents that struggle to provide appropriate care (and healthcare) for their children because of poverty?

“How can this be the wealthiest country in the world when one in four of America’s children has been living in poverty for over four decades?” said Thomas K. McInerny, MD, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). "The AAP and the Academic Pediatric Association (APA) have decided that now is the time to work on reducing childhood poverty as a major step to improve the health of our nation’s children, our most precious resource.”

Regarding rights of unborn children, do Liberty students know about the harm placed on unborn children (and living humans) at some Pentecostal churches in their own backyard? Serpent handling is not the safest of religious practices among pregnant women.Religious Freedom laws should protect churches that perform serpent handling, as well as churches that use yagé, teonanáctl, and peyote as a religious sacraments.

Clockwise from top right: Teonanácatl presentations at the New Mexico State Capitol, DEA Headquarters in Albuquerque, and Santa Fe Police Department show that after 494 years of prohibition, sacred sacraments are legal for certain Native American Church-affiliated chapters to utilize.

Religion should worry about their own religious practices and not worry about what other people are doing to their own bodies.

From BC3: A Season of Dedication..There were few good jobs in Quitman, GA. Meat packing and textile jobs had moved overseas, leaving people without work. Quitman was deteriorating like many other towns in the Deep South.

In the 2000 Census, the median income in Quitman was $20,924 per household and $24,154 per family. The per capita income for the city was $10,594. About 31.2% of families and 34.2% of the population were below the poverty line, including 46.7% of those under age 18 and 20.9% of those age 65 or over."

According to the Washington Post and national statistics, the South looks in rough shape on national maps of many kinds:
